Frequently Asked Questions for Personalized Christmas Stockings in America
Ours are made from felt, polyester, jute or pile, depending on the design. All four hold their shape after a decade of being stuffed, emptied and packed away again.
Pick a design, type the name you want embroidered, then choose one of 7 font styles and 8 thread colors. The name is stitched into the fabric, not printed on top, so it will not crack or peel.

A stocking with someone's name on it is one of the few Christmas gifts that gets used again the following year instead of once. That is most of the appeal.

18.5 inches from cuff to toe, 11 inches across, with an 8-inch opening. That is roomier than most store-bought stockings, which matters on Christmas morning.
Personalized Christmas stockings, embroidered to order
Every stocking is embroidered with the name you choose, in one of seven font styles and eight thread colors. They are made from felt, polyester, jute and pile, which is why they survive being yanked off the mantel by an over-excited six year old and still look right the following December.
18.5" cuff to toe
11" across
8" opening
That size is deliberate. A stocking that only fits a candy bar and an orange is a letdown on Christmas morning.
Christmas stockings for the whole family
Match the set
A stocking each, every name embroidered. Because they are made to order you can add another the year the family grows, and one bought in 2026 still matches one bought in 2029.
Or mix them
Give everyone a different character and keep the thread color the same. Hung together it looks deliberate rather than accidental.

Embroidered, not printed
Most personalized stockings sold online are printed, heat pressed or vinyl. That is quick and cheap, and after a few Decembers in a hot attic the name cracks and lifts at the edges. Ours are embroidered, so the name is thread worked into the fabric and there is no transfer layer to peel.
We are also the ones making it. Your stocking is stitched in our own workshop in Los Angeles or Orlando after you order, not bought in from a supplier and relabeled.
Ordering and delivery across the US
1. Pick a design Sixteen to choose from.
2. Add the name Seven fonts, eight thread colors.
3. We embroider and ship Dispatch in 2 to 5 business days, then UPS.
Free shipping over $50, and a $5 flat rate under that. One piece of timing advice: order by late November. December gets busy, and a stocking that turns up on December 27th is no use to anybody.
